Non-7 related. Absorbing moisture from tin-top

[Sam Monoogian]

After using the Granada as a taxi for me and my team-mates to wet karting events there's a lot of condensation on the inside of the windows at night.

 

Are there any products on the market that you can leave in the car to absorb this moisture?

Sam,

 

My Mom makes dried flower arrangements and buys Silica gel (the moisture absorbing stuff in the little packets inside the boxes of electronic goods) in a loose form to speed up the flower drying process.

 

This comes from the warehouse she uses and I would guess a mug full of this would do the job. There's probably a stockist not far from you.

Shove a de-humidifier in, switch it on, and close the door. Make sure it's level enough not to leak out when the container is getting nearly full.

Just use a big bowl of salt, its cheep and it works *wink*

Sam,

Make sure the ventilation system is not on recirc.-no fresh air in cabin will do it.

Cheers

It sounds like you have a leak - usually the ventilation and use of a car dries it out. This is after all what they are designed to cope with. Have you felt the footwell carpets and in the boot for puddles? I have dried out leaks with a hairdrier in the past, though with Scabious the ratty Volvo the cure is simpler - remove one of the plugs in the spare wheel well.

 

Otherwise I second the packet of salt in a washing up bowl comments. Try not to spill this on any steel or ally bits
